Differential remodelling in small and large murine airways revealed by novel whole lung airway analysis (2023)
Journal Article
Tatler, A. L., Philp, C. J., Hill, M. R., Cox, S., Bullock, A. M., John, A., …Brook, B. S. (2023). Differential remodelling in small and large murine airways revealed by novel whole lung airway analysis. American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 324(3), L271-L284. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajplung.00034.2022

Airway remodelling occurs in chronic asthma leading to increased airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass and extra-cellular matrix (ECM) deposition. Whilst extensively studied in murine airways, studies report only selected larger airways at one time point m...

Plasma cells: a feasible therapeutic target in pulmonary fibrosis? (2022)
Journal Article
Goodwin, A. T., Noble, P. W., & Tatler, A. L. (2022). Plasma cells: a feasible therapeutic target in pulmonary fibrosis?. European Respiratory Journal, 60(5), Article 2201748. https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.01748-2022

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal lung disease characterised by the irreversible replacement of normal lung parenchyma with stiff scar tissue. The prognosis of IPF is very poor, with a median survival worse than many canc... Read More about Plasma cells: a feasible therapeutic target in pulmonary fibrosis?.
